Aquariums

[LT. DAN 2]

I will usually take 5 gallons out and add 5 new with about a cup of well water (no chemicals) to allow for evaporation and rainfall.

Don`t you have trouble keeping the tank cold ? Even with "air" in the house, the tank temps are warmer than in the house, because of the motor and lights.

I only use lights at night or when company "must see" the tank, but I do occasionally leave a light on while it's a dark day outside. I only light the attinic light on those occasions though ...no white lights. The pump I use stores under the fish tanks stand inside the cabinet so there is no heat problem from that, I used to use a trickle filter but they were just too distractiong on those "quiet" nights.
